Ike Report and We All Need Help Sometimes

This idea of HELP keeps coming around in my world these days. You
already know how I have admitted that getting the technical help that
I needed has transformed my attitude and sales esults.

This email continues along the lines of helping each other.

Thank you to those of you who emailed me to check on how we were doing
with Hurricane Ike. As you know, Ike tore through much of the Texas
Coast and then continued on up the east coast, so many of you may have
received some sort of wind, rain or discomfort from it. One of my
virtual assistants in Ohio is without power until Sept 21!

I learned a great deal about LIFE this past week as a result of the
storm and having a family of six stay with us who had to evacuate from
Houston. Being with them as they watched the news helplessly,
wondering if there home was still in tact or not made it very close to
home indeed. (not to mention the fact, the storm could have easily
caused us to be the ones evacuated).

What I also noticed is that with the help of good friends, and a safe
space to be, we can turn a negative situation into a positive one. We
ended up spending quality time together cooking, talking, and fishing.
(well they did the fishing, I did the talking, but it was really fun)

We made the best of it and the key thing was everything that was of
real importance---the family--kids and doggies---- were safe and sound

Rebecka, Rich, Brianna, Ashley, Buddy, and Dot left today to assess
the damage, and we are hoping that there home was spared, but we
also realize that many homes were not.

Our prayers go out to all those people who suffered significant
damage.

What was made so clear to me by the Divine is how much we all need
to be able to turn to people we trust in times of change and challenge.

This is what I have stood for for a long time--Emotional Support.
The only way to get things done and done well is by working with a
team. That is why I was recently inspired to create the Soul Success Inner Circle.

I am late letting you know about this--- due to all the chaos
ately, but if you are someone who has a virtual business and find
yourself struggling in your own private storm, there is a rescue boat headed your way---
but you have to get on board in order to receive the help you need.

We start tomorrow....and the cost is so low, you may never seen an
opportunity like this again!

It's simple, really, we are in a time of unprecendented CHANGE and
things are accelerating to a mind-blowing proportion .
To be helped, we must be vulnerable and admit to ourselves that we cannot do it alone.
To not just survive, but to thrive, we all must learn to give help to others and accept help from others when we need it.

And that is a life lesson worth learning.
